On Thursday myself and four students made our way to Bembridge Point laden down with our painting equipment and bags of enthusiasm. We were lucky with the weather. The day before had seen tremendous winds, but we were blessed with weather perfect for artists in the great outdoors!
We each found our ideal positions to pitch ourselves and then the fun started. Below are some pictures a student took of me painting....

| Painting on the beach at Bembridge Point - May 2015 |
This is my finished painting which was painted in situ on the beach. The second photograph is a detail which illustrates the loose palette technique which I utilised. I am really happy with how the painting turned out and the palette knife technique captured the movement of the sea and sky.
